EDDIE HOWE CONFIRMS BRUNO GUIMARAES AND LEWIS MILEY OUT VS CITY
Newcastle face a midfield crisis as Bruno and Miley are ruled out of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City. Get updates.
Eddie Howe has given the latest on Lewis Miley, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sven Botman as Newcastle United get ready for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City.
It’s another tough night ahead for Newcastle. They’re already two goals down after losing the first leg at St James’ Park, and now they’re missing even more key players. That third Carabao Cup final in four seasons is starting to look like a big ask.
Honestly, the stats aren’t great. Newcastle haven’t scored—let alone won—at Man City since Howe took charge. Their only win at the Etihad came way back in 2014, when Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko got the goals in a 2-0 victory. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Injuries keep piling up. Tino Livramento, Joelinton, Fabian Schar, and Emil Krafth are all out. Bruno Guimaraes sat out the 4-1 loss at Liverpool with an ankle problem, and both Lewis Miley and Sven Botman stayed on the bench as unused subs.
After that Liverpool game, Howe explained the situation. “Sven had a tight thigh, and the advice was not to use him. That’s why he and Lewy were on the bench—we wanted to give them every chance to be fit. Sometimes, you hope something changes in the warm-up, but with such a quick turnaround, you just don’t have time to get all the info you need,” he said.
“With Lewy, he just couldn’t bend his knee enough to be fit.”
Asked about the chances of players returning against Manchester City, Howe said, “Probably our best bets are Sven and Lewy since they were on the bench at Liverpool. For Bruno, I’m not sure—there’s a chance, but the others are definitely out.”
But just before the City game, Howe gave another update. Turns out, both Bruno and Miley are out for this one. “Yeah, Bruno’s doing well, but I don’t think he’ll make this game—maybe the weekend. Sven Botman is okay, but I’m not sure about Lewy either.”
MILESTONE MOMENT: JACOB RAMSEY ENDS GOAL DROUGHT TO SINK TOTTENHAM AND THOMAS FRANK
Jacob Ramsey scored his first Newcastle goal to secure a 2-1 win over Tottenham. Read Eddie Howe’s reaction and TNT Sports interview.
Eddie Howe’s team grabbed the lead right before half-time, with Malick Thiaw poking in a loose ball from close range. Honestly, they deserved it. Just a few moments earlier, Joe Willock looked like he’d put the visitors ahead, but VAR stepped in and ruled it out for a razor-thin offside.
So Newcastle went into the break on top. But less than 20 minutes into the second half, the Spurs pulled level. Archie Grey scored from a corner, completely against the run of play. The celebration didn’t last, though. Just four minutes later, Jacob Ramsey fired in a lovely left-footed shot past Guglielmo Vicario. That ended up being the winner.
Ramsey’s goal was a big moment. It was his first for Newcastle since joining from Aston Villa over the summer, and it came just before the Magpies get ready to face his old club in the FA Cup’s Fourth Round. Injuries and tough competition have kept Ramsey from locking down a regular spot at St James’ Park so far, but lately, he looks like someone Howe just can’t leave out.
After the win over the Spurs, Ramsey, who picked up player of the match, talked to TNT Sports about what Howe’s been asking of him. “Yeah, it’s been a while. I’ve been playing all over the place, but today I was a bit higher up the pitch, and the manager kept telling me I need to get my numbers up. Thankfully, I got my goal today.
“I knew I was in the box, played a one-two with Gordon, and it just felt natural. Left foot, nice finish.”
He’s had a rough start at Newcastle. “I got injured in my first start and ended up out for two months. I needed to get my fitness back, and then I was in and then out of the team.
Now, though? “I’m feeling good, feeling fit. I just want to stay in the team, keep scoring, keep getting assists, and help the team out.”
Eddie Howe couldn’t hide his happiness after Ramsey’s goal; his celebration said it all. After the match, Howe praised not just Ramsey’s finish but his whole performance. “Really good goal,” Howe said. “He’s just such a technical player, and you could see that tonight.
“I thought our two number eights, Willock and Ramsey, really stood out. Physically, they were excellent.
“We controlled the first half, partly because of them and Bruno. I’m just so happy for Jacob, because he deserved some recognition for how well he’s been playing lately.”
Next up, Howe and his squad head to Villa Park on Saturday to take on Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
EDDIE HOWE CONFIRMS HE WILL NOT RESIGN DESPITE GROWING FAN PRESSURE
Eddie Howe remains defiant at Newcastle United, receiving crucial backing from CEO David Hopkinson despite a slide to 12th place.
Eddie Howe isn’t going anywhere. Even after the boos from the crowd following Newcastle United’s loss to Brentford, he’s standing his ground.
He’s got backing, too. CEO David Hopkinson publicly supported him last week, and over the weekend, Howe got more encouragement from Hopkinson and sporting director Ross Wilson. But honestly, Howe says the only real pressure comes from himself. He’s his own toughest critic, and he’s determined to come out stronger from this first real rough patch as head coach.
At his press conference, Howe didn’t hide how much the club means to him. “I care so much about what I do. I care so much about the club,” he said. For him, the club always comes first—above himself, above any player. Every decision he makes, he says, is about what’s best for Newcastle United.
And sure, the players matter a lot, but he keeps the bigger picture in mind. He doesn’t worry about outside pressure or what others say—he’s more concerned about living up to his own standards. “I need to do better, and I will do better,” he admitted. Tough moments like this, he said, are where you grow the most, and he’s ready to take it on.
When someone asked if he ever doubted he was the right person for the job, Howe didn’t hesitate. “No, there’s no doubt in my mind, and that’s why I’m sitting here,” he said. If he ever stopped believing he was the right man for Newcastle, he’d walk away. But his motivation is still sky-high, and he’s fighting for the club every single day.
He made it clear—he’d never put himself before the club. If he thought someone else could do better, he’d step aside.
With Newcastle sitting 12th in the table and a desperate Spurs team up next, Howe knows he needs to be at his best. “That’s when everyone is looking at you to set the tone,” he said. People want someone to follow, and he’s ready to lead. He believes in his coaching staff and the squad—a group he calls honest and caring. All that’s left, he says, is to raise the level of their performances.
